I'd quote per visit after adding up what it would cost me in fuel, leafshine, watering can, cloths and my time then adding a bit for good luck.

I'd just look at it as any contract work and yeah would charge per hour...I'd say for caring for them I'd prob charge about £15 - £20 each visit...after all you're away from your shop, time you could be doing more productive and financially rewarding things...
